    TEXT: 
  /LP, /TX  `Business the Sony Way', By Shu Shin Luh, Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, 
    Pages: 288, Price: RM59.80 
         BOOKS such as the Dummies series represent a popular trend in 
    publishing, namely eliciting reader response and recognition by means of 
    using similar formats and writing styles. Business the Sony Way is the 
    latest in a series of business books that uses the approach of breaking 
    down a particular company's history and strategies into ten chapters in an 
    effort to maintain a homogenous front. 
         The book does a decent job of covering Sony's sprawling business 
    empire, beginning with its humble beginnings in a leaky building in 
    post-war Tokyo before moving on to explain the company's family-first style 
    of management. 
         The diversity of Sony's products is also highlighted with the help of 
    photographs, from unsuccessful early rice cookers to its hugely profitable 
    PlayStation consoles, and in between, its acquisition of movie studio 
    Columbia Pictures. Despite this, the book does have a number of flaws that 
    lessen its overall impact. 
         From the outset, as author Shu Shin Luh states, Sony did not grant her 
    interviews, hence the feeling that is engendered is one of trepidation. To 
    be fair, when the book works, it does very well. The chapter on Sony 
    muscling into the lucrative console gaming market as a rank outsider is 
    extremely well-written and provides the reader with a sense that the 
    company was battling against all odds, only to emerge triumphant in the 
    end. However, the so-called 'secrets' that serve as footnotes are 
    contextually relevant but often come across as perfunctory and trite, being 
    only as informative as a decent university textbook. 
         The fact of the matter is that the Sony story is a fascinating and 
    enlightening one that is capable of standing on its own, and distilling it 
    into a prerequisite number of chapters to fit the restrictive and 
    oversimplified format of this particular series of books does not do it 
    justice.
